Just learn to sail
Apart from our formal
ASA Sailing School, another option is our very own
"Just Learn to Sail" sailing course. You WILL know how
to run a sailboat! We believe that many people out there just want to sail! No
classroom, no exams, just sailing instruction for someone who wants to learn
how to cruise a larger sailboat.
We simply put you behind the wheel of a 30 foot
10,000 lb ocean cruiser in the Gulf of Mexico and teach you all you need
to know to take it from here to wherever you want to go in the wild blue
yonder!
Inexpensive
Unlike ASA sailing, WE DON'T
CHARGE PER PERSON. Our rates are for the boat and the instructor.
Rates include instruction for up to 4 people! You can bring along a wife, or
friend or two friends or even three! They don't even need to be involved in
the class, they can just sit up on deck and enjoy the sail!
"Just Learn to Sail" Choices
We offer three main sailing courses, and then
several special interest courses:
"Intro to
sailing" - 1/2 day $350 for up to 4 people

From a Happy Client
Very patient and informative... eager
to teach us whatever we wanted to know! They really tailored
the class to our needs as a sailing family.
It was a great
opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing a larger boat with
the confidence of having a captain and instructor available to
answer our questions.
It is well worth the drive to the west
coast to attend any of their sailing classes.
